Me meither. It's actually detrimental to the list to have any spoiler 
warnings at all, in any situation, right now and in the past and 
certainly in the future. 

1 - Things the main list thinks need spoiler warnings are all over the 
front pages of almost EVERY FAN PAGE ON THE NET, most newspapers, and 
ALL the major HP sites, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

2 - the percentage of posts written to the list after it opens not 
dealing with HBP issues will be minimal (if there are any at all) that 
aren't either a) FAQtual questions b) Off Topic

3 - why is the list closing again for 72  - 83 hours?

4 - on every fan site, a majority of people are actively seeking 
spoilers

5 - logically, why would anybody check the best HP group on the net 
thinking they wouldn't read anything about the HP book that everyone 
else is talking about, in and out of fandom?

6 - almost without exception, those calling for spoiler warnings are 
calling for them because of some conjectured, hypothetical, probably 
non-existant OTHER

7 - spoiler warnings are unsightly, or rather, lack aesthetic

8 - any cut-off is arbitrary

In conclusion, the idea is silly, silly, silly.
